Returns the external encoding for files read from ARGF as an Encoding object. The external encoding is the encoding of the text as stored in a file. Contrast with ARGF.internal_encoding, which is the encoding used to represent this text within Ruby.
To set the external encoding use ARGF.set_encoding.
For example:
ARGF.external_encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF as an Encoding object.
If ARGF.set_encoding has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil is returned.
Synonym for ENV.
Returns true if illegal input is handled. See CSV::new for details.
Serialization support for the object returned by _getobj_.
Reinitializes delegation from a serialized object.
Returns the names of the binding’s local variables as symbols.
def foo a = 1 2.times do |n| binding.local_variables #=> [:a, :n] end end
This method is the short version of the following code:
binding.eval("local_variables")
Add option switch like with on, but at tail of summary.
mtch.values_at([index]*) -> array
Uses each index to access the matching values, returning an array of the corresponding matches.
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138: The Movie") m.to_a #=> ["HX1138", "H", "X", "113", "8"] m.values_at(0, 2, -2) #=> ["HX1138", "X", "113"] m = /(?<a>\d+) *(?<op>[+\-*\/]) *(?<b>\d+)/.match("1 + 2") m.to_a #=> ["1 + 2", "1", "+", "2"] m.values_at(:a, :b, :op) #=> ["1", "2", "+"]
This is similar to breakable except the decision to break or not is determined individually.
Two fill_breakable under a group may cause 4 results: (break,break), (break,non-break), (non-break,break), (non-break,non-break). This is different to breakable because two breakable under a group may cause 2 results: (break,break), (non-break,non-break).
The text sep is inserted if a line is not broken at this point.
If sep is not specified, “ ” is used.
If width is not specified, sep.length is used. You will have to specify this when sep is a multibyte character, for example.
Load the given PStore file. If read_only is true, the unmarshalled Hash will be returned. If read_only is false, a 3-tuple will be returned: the unmarshalled Hash, a checksum of the data, and the size of the data.
Dup internal hash.
Clone internal hash.
Convenience method for Shell::CommandProcessor.alias_command. Defines an instance method which will execute a command under an alternative name.
Shell.def_system_command('date') Shell.alias_command('date_in_utc', 'date', '-u') Shell.new.date_in_utc # => Sat Jan 25 16:59:57 UTC 2014
Convenience method for Shell::CommandProcessor.unalias_command
Returns true if the referenced object is still alive.
Returns the exit value associated with this LocalJumpError.
Returns the original name of the method.
Returns the original name of the method.
Return value from :return, c_return, and b_return event
Returns an array of the names of global variables.
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
